Throwing Starbursts

Last week after dinner James and I watched a movie, and he fell asleep on my shoulder. Now, our TV has not been working so great. A short causes the sound to go in and out at random times. Usually a smack to the side of it brings the sound back and you can continue watching your program (classy, I know). Well, James wouldn't wake up, and I couldn't reach the TV from the couch, so I started searching. "Searching for what?" you ask. Searching for anything to throw at the TV to get the sound back! The closest thing that I could throw, without causing too much damage, was in the candy jar next to me: a Starburst. I carefully reached for the juicy candy, without waking James, and launched it at the TV. PLINK! It hit right in the middle of the glass, and like magic the sound came back on.

The only memory we'll have of our soundless TV is this blog. As of yesterday James and I are now proud owners of a widescreen, HD TV.

RIP Panasonic

Hey James and Elise,
I've been thinking of you two. Are you coming to visit for Christmas? Did the TV break when the Starburst hit it? Where did you get your new TV? Great to check in on your blog. Hope you are both well.
